national program for the tower construction industry and has joined All Risks, Ltd. effective August 1, 2015. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Patrick Shea and Scott Hermesmeyer, founders of TPIS, have joined the National Specialty Programs unit of All Risks, while continuing to operate from Austin. Patrick and Scott will run the day-to-day operations while working to expand the array of products to the wireless industry.
“We could not be happier to have Patrick and Scott joining the All Risks Programs team.

The company will continue to expand their specialized insurance program with Zurich American Insurance Company.
